Pridefest 2012 - South Florida Gay Pride

Pridefest Fort Lauderdale 2012

We're very excited about the upcoming 2012 PrideFest happening Saturday, March 10th and Sunday, March 11th. Official PrideFest events kick off the week prior to the PrideFest weekend. These will be held at several of the nightclubs and venues throughout town beginning on Monday, March 5th and continue through Sunday night's After Pride T Dance on the 11th.

PrideFest is a celebration and tribute to the LGBT community and its unique culture. Taking place at the very popular Holiday Park / War Memorial Auditorium, it is a weekend long event which includes non-stop entertainment both days, local DJ's and many more surprises!

Also featured are over 250 vendors, comedy shows, music, food, DJ's, and a dance tent which, as usual, has a great dance floor for your dancing pleasure! New for 2012 we are back at War Memorial, with the festive outdoor stage. That means that along with vendors, food and fun there will be great entertainment only outside the air-conditioned War Memorial Auditorium. Come join the fun and show your PRIDE! This gives us more space for vendors inside the Auditorium along with the Quilt up on the stage and protected from any bad weather that we may get.

12:00-7:00 P.M. Saturday, March 10st and Sunday March 11th. At Holiday Park / War Memorial Auditorium – 800 NE 8th Street, Ft Lauderdale, FL

All ticket sales benefit our community. For more information please visit our Mission and FAQ page.
